London Bridge Station

London's least favourite mainline station, it's so confusing.

Location: Off Tooley Street, SE1 2SW

Description: London's least favourite mainline station...why? Because it is so confusing! Enter a hideous melange of platforms, subways, ticket offices and tube stations. All of which come together at haphazard angles. Very hard work!
